[15:52] anyone not dead?
[16:21] me
[16:22] rightey
[16:22] was supposed to ask if there were better algorithm to solve a problem i had, but i will just test by bruteforcing if it is possible
[16:23] use the power, luke
[16:23] (was it you who though about developing multi-computer evolver, and expressed interest in my project?)
[16:23] not sure if I asked you, but sometimes i will make a distributed screensaver out of ares
[16:30] ugh, why does the code not like me
[16:47] well, got the code to work, but the theory looks to be busted for this sample and 90 000 000 combinations (gone through in about 38 seconds count with fingers)
[16:49] sorry, 90 000 000 000 samples
[17:01] hehehe .... code is always fun ... especially when it Doesn't work :)
[17:09] hmm..
[17:09] this keeps bothering me
[17:10] Idea is, that one has N numbers in an array, and arbitary numbers X and Y. One would search for X and Y values that accord to ((N * X) % Y) == array[N]
[17:11] but it seemed that no results past third number were found in my two 8-number testset, X & Y [1,30000]
[17:17] idea being that N numbers could be replaced with X & Y, with possible large saving with data compression, if just suitable X & Y were found
[17:18] though by the time good X & Y were found, they would be already large enough for themselves to be the same size as the N numbers
[17:21] everyone loves data compression, no?
